The popular and successful management of J. C. ■ Williamson Ltd., take pleasure in their endeavours to foster a, taste for the more wholesome and natural in the sphere of dramatic production, and claim to disclose not merely tue home truths of life set in charming frame work, but to avoid the crudities and impossibilities usually associated with this school of dramatic architecture. The play under notice is claimed to be an .unusually fine example of the new drama, from the pen of Mr Clyde Fitch, a successful American author and dramatist, and its success throughout Great Britain and Australia leaves no doubt of its ready acceptance throughout New Zealand. TJie box plan is at Miss Rive's. ,

THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES,

The change of programme at the Foresters' Hall last evening drew a large attendance. The .subjects were of a, varied nature; and excellent in evieiy detail. Some very good dramas were shown, principal among which were "Slim Jim's Last Chance," "A Dead Man's Honour," and "One of Nature's Noblemen." Pathe's Oazette was shown, and two scenic subjects entitled "Lakes and Falls of Plitvier," and "The Isle of Elba." An acrobatic turn by the Harrison troupe was one of the best appreciated items, on the programme. Th& comics delighted everyone, particularly "Muscle Development," "Swank Buys a Motor By lie." The orchestral items were as much appreciated as the pictures. The programme will be repeated' again tonight.
